[Dnsmasq-discuss] Problem with no-resolv and no IP

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

Hi, on Ubuntu 22.04 and dnsmasq 2.86-1.1:

1) Use the following dnsmasq.conf:
no-resolv
server=8.8.8.8
2) Ifdown the network so that there's no local IP
3) (Re)start dnsmasq
4) Ifup the network, let's say local IP=10.0.0.1 now

At that point:
5) `host google.com 10.0.0.1` fails with connection timed out,
6) `host google.com 127.0.0.1` works.

In other words, when dnsmasq is started when there's no local IP, AND 
no-resolv is set, then dnsmasq doesn't reply to the local IPs that are 
assigned later on.

Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong?
